Erling P. Strand, 1984. _Project Hessdalen (web edition on hessdalen.org)_.

The report of the first instrumented campaign, 21 January to 26 February 1984: instruments (radar, spectrum analyser, seismograph, magnetometer, laser, Geiger counter, infrared viewer, cameras with gratings), 53 visual observations with times, the radar tracks (one light tracked at about 8,500 m/s), magnetometer pulsations and the lessons of the campaign. Lights first appeared in December 1981 and could hang still for over an hour or move fast.
